Among the many anti-cellulite products offered by the slimming market, oils are becoming increasingly popular. This is a growing trend, popular with consumers looking for more naturalness. But in view of the exponential offer ofanti-cellulite care, it can be complicated to make a wise choice. Also, here’s a complete guide, to make sure you find the anti-cellulite oil that’s right for you.
Cellublue anti-cellulite oil is a blend of natural vegetable oils (sunflower and sweet almond) and natural plant extracts. It therefore containsgrapefruit, known for its lipolytic properties, and climbing ivy, with anti-inflammatory and anti-edematous properties (action on venous tone). It would therefore have a double action on cellulite, by locally encouraging lipolysis and reviving the microcirculation involved in the formationof water retention. Its application is easy, so it can be used alone or with a suction cup, in daily massage. We will therefore remember its 99% natural and vegan composition, its very pleasant monoi fragrance and the favorable opinions of its users, who declare themselves 96% satisfied.
The anti-cellulite oil from B.O.T is natural, cruelty-free and vegan. It consists of natural ingredients: a clever blend of natural vegetable oils of sesame, sweet almond andsoy, and essential oils ofcinnamon, juniper, Roman basil, lemon and rosemary. Note the presence of some synthetic perfumes, which can be allergenic agents for sensitive and reactive skin. However, its composition is consistent, in accordance with the anti-cellulite objective: lipolytic rosemary, venous tonic cinnamon, lemon thinning and detoxifying, anti-inflammatory basil and draining juniper. It can be used daily, alone or with a massage device.
Bioniva offers natural, vegan and non-animal tested products, such as its anti-cellulite oil. Its smooth texture, easy to work with and quickly absorbed by the skin, is the result of a blend of natural vegetable oils: grape seed, argan, jojoba and rosehip. In addition, this massage oil containsessential oilsof lemon, grapefruit and eucalyptus, for a lipolytic, tonic and anti-inflammatory effect. It is therefore suitable for all types of cellulite and promises radiance, firming and regeneration of the skin. Little more of this anti-cellulite oil: it could also be used on stretch marks. However, the presence of essential oils makes its use unrecommendable forpregnant women.
How to choose your anti-cellulite oil?
Different criteria are to be taken into account when choosing an anti-cellulite treatment. The offer on the slimming market is vast. Also, it is not uncommon to come across a disappointing product. It therefore seems good to rely on a few indicators of efficiency and quality.
Composition
The composition remains the first criterion of choice when deciding to use a cosmetic product. Indeed, the ingredients of a formula will not only reveal the effectiveness of a product, but also its quality.
As it is an anti-cellulite oil, it is better to favornatural formulations. Indeed, a good anti-cellulite oil must be made from one or morenatural vegetable oils, if possible extracted by cold pressing and organic. The product will thus benefit from the intrinsic qualities of the oils of which it is composed: nourishing, softening and regenerating action. Mineral oils, derived from petrochemicals, certainly have qualities in terms of stability and texture, but they are not very noble. In addition, their long-term safety is now subject to question.
In addition, a good anti-cellulite oil must containnatural active ingredients (such as essential oils) targeting the different causes of cellulite. Also, we will prefer oils containing:
- Natural extracts with lipolytic virtues, whether fruit essences (such as citrus fruits, such as grapefruit andlemon), plants (cedar, eucalyptus, rosemary) ornatural active ingredients known for their “fat burning” action (caffeine, piperine, capsaicin, bromelain).
- Venotonic active ingredients, to promote microcirculation and boostvenous tone: cypress, broom holly, climbing ivy, red vine, peppermint or immortelle.
- Draining essences, having a positive action on edema associated with the phenomenon of water retention (factor promoting aqueous cellulite): juniper, geranium, marine Christe, lemon balm.
Texture
A second criterion that can go into the choice of an anti-cellulite oil is undoubtedly its texture. Indeed, a good anti-cellulite oil must penetrate the skin relatively quickly, but be thick enough to facilitate the massage, without greasy finish. Also, vegetable oil alloys make it possible to find the right compromise between fluidity and density, betweengreasy touch and dry finish. Thus mixtures of jojoba and wheat germ oils, castor and macadamia oils or borage and avocado oils will be ideal combinations for an effective anti-cellulite massage.
User experience
User opinion can also be a good selection criterion. Indeed, you will certainly benefit from feedback from buyers, who can testify to the effectiveness of a product. To find user reviews about an anti-cellulite oil, it is not necessary to look far: manufacturer’s or retailer’s website, blogs, press, product review… Today, there are many sources of information. Another advantage of user reviews: they are generally uncompromising, they have no interest in praising a product that actually has no effect!
How effective are anti-cellulite oils?
We are entitled to wonder if anti-cellulite oils are really effective in absorbing orange peel. But the effectiveness of this type of oil is based on several factors:
- The composition: as previously explained, a product rich in natural active ingredients, the molecules of which have a real therapeutic effect on water retention, veno-lymphatic circulation or inflammation typical of fibrosis, is trustworthy.
- The combination of an anti-cellulite oil and a massage: massage is just as important as the oil you apply, when you want to act effectively on cellulite. Indeed, the massage will not only facilitate the penetration of the anti-cellulite formula, but also activate microcirculation, essential in the detoxification and drainage of flows, and activate lipolysis, by emptying adipocytes.
- The frequency of use: the effectiveness of an anti-cellulite oil is finally based on its frequency of use. The vast majority of manufacturers recommend daily or even twice-daily application to see real effects on cellulite.
How to use your anti-cellulite oil?
Daily use
To use its anti-cellulite oil, and thus benefit from all its effects, it is recommended to apply it every day, on the areas affected by cellulite: thighs, knees, buttocks, hips. The application is usually done on clean and dry skin, but some anti-cellulite oils are also shower oils. Also, to be sure to use your product properly, refer to the manufacturer’s explanatory note.
The importance of massage
As mentioned above, an anti-cellulite oil can only reveal its effectiveness if it is accompanied by a proper massage. The essential anti-cellulite massage remains the palpate-roll technique. However, it is quite understandable that it is difficult to perform every day, especially in self-massage. Also, somedevices, such asanti-cellulite cups, can be a great help. In addition, it is important to start your massage with its anti-cellulite oil from the lower body, then to go up gradually. This method encourages venous return and thus increases the draining effect of the product.
Compliance with Terms of Use
Finally, to properly use your anti-cellulite oil, it is important to respect the conditions of use of the product, dispensed by the manufacturer.
- Beforehand, it is advisable to test the formulation of the anti-cellulite oil on a small patch of skin (the crease of the elbow, for example), to check its tolerance to the product.
- If you know you are allergic to any of the components, it is better to avoid applying the product to the rest of the body.
- If you notice an adverse effect, such as a rash, itching or an unpleasant sensation, it is better to stop using the anti-cellulite oil in question.
- It is better to avoid using your anti-cellulite oil on irritated skin and carrying a lesion, wound, skin condition, sunburn.
- Contact with eyes and mucous membranes is not recommended and should result in abundant rinsing.
- Apply your anti-cellulite oil only to the areas mentioned by the manufacturer’s laboratory.
- If you are pregnant, it is not recommended to apply an anti-cellulite oil containing perfumes, essential oils or chemicals. Indeed, some of the compounds can have repercussions on the course of pregnancy and / or on the health of the fetus.
